1) Time departed home for supermarket: 7:08 AM. Time returned hom: 8:41 AM. Total time, including round-trip subway ride: 93 minutes.
1a) Swift timing today due to lack of a staffer monitoring the entrance so I could begin my shopping before 8 AM. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission! That said, one reason a designated hour for senior citizens is so wonderful is that few of them pay attention to the new arrows on the floor.
2) Dialogue witnessed on subway platform:
Maskless Woman: “May I use your phone to call my transportation?”
Maskless Man: “Whaddya talkin’ about? There’s a virus!”
3) It was snowing on my walk home from the subway, but it seems to have stopped now. In New England all weathers are possible at all time, but it’s just one more sign of the Apocalypse.
